court<\/a> also granted a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant and Executive Director of Due Process Advocate, Emeka Ugwuonye, his agents, associates, privies, and\/or proxies howsoever called, from carrying out any libelous publication against Ejiofor.<\/p>\nEjiofor had in the suit marked: CV\/535\/2022, dragged Ugwuonye, an activist and lawyer to a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja, demanding N5.1bn for allegedly defamatory publication.<\/p>\n
One of the defamatory materials was said to have been published and circulated to third parties on the Internet on February 5, 2022, and continued till February 8, 2022.<\/p>\n
Ugwuonye had alleged that \u201cEjiofor was facing serious investigation for fraud and forgery by the EFCC.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among the reliefs sought by Ejiofor included the following:<\/p>\n
\u201cA declaration that the publications variously made by the defendant of and concerning the claimant, on the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th of February, 2022, the particulars of which are contained in the statement of claim, are defamatory of the claimant.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn order of the Honourable Court directing the defendant to forthwith publish a full retraction of the utterly libelous publications and an unqualified apology to the claimant in at least three national Newspapers with nationwide circulation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn order of the Honourable Court directing the defendant to forthwith publish a written undertaking not to publish any similar or further libel of and concerning the claimant.<\/p>\n
\u201cA perpetual order of injunction restraining the defendant, his agents, associates, privies, and\/or proxies howsoever called, from publishing any similar or further libel of and concerning the claimant.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sum of N5,000,000,000:00 (Five Billion Naira Only) as general and exemplary damages.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sum of N100,000,000:00 (Hundred Million Naira Only) being the cost of this action.\u201d<\/p>\n
Justice Nwosu-Iheme in the judgement obtained by journalists in Abuja on Tuesday ordered that the publications variously made by the defendant concerning Ejiofor on February 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12 2022, the particulars of which were contained in the statement of claim, were defamatory.<\/p>\n
The court also ordered the defendant (Emeka Ugwuonye) to forthwith publish a full retraction of the utterly libelous publications apology to the claimant (Sir ifeanyi Ejiofor) in at least three national Newspapers with nationwide circulation, including PUNCH, Daily Times, and PREMIUM TIMES.<\/p>\n
The defendant was also ordered to forthwith publish a written undertaking not to publish any similar or further libel of and concerning the claimant.<\/p>\n
Other orders made by the court included, \u201cPerpetual injunction restraining the defendant (Emeka Ugwuonye) his agents, associates, privies and\/or proxies howsoever called, from publishing any similar or further libel of and concerning the Claimant (Sir Ejiofor).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sum of N5 million only as general and exemplary damages. The sum of N500 thousand being the cost of this action.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reacting to the judgement, Ejiofor said, \u201cBe rest assured that this judgment shall be executed to the letter. I immensely thank my colleagues in chambers and Barrister Maxwell Opara, who worked assiduously to secure this victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cUgwuonye\u2019s ilks, including a certain lawyer in America who ought to have known better, are by this publication put on notice that- it does not matter who you are or whom you\u2019re affiliated with or where you are; it is only a matter of time. But I shall ensure that the long arm of the law catches up with you, and you shall definitely pay for the irreparable damages caused.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that I am done with the civil proceedings in the instant case, I shall now proceed with criminal proceedings against the said cyberstalkers pursuant to the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are courageous enough to commit a crime, you should also be courageous enough to face the inescapable consequences of your actions. The other suits I initiated against some of these social media noisemakers are ongoing, and upon the conclusion of same, I shall make the necessary update(s).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
